We are big fans of Kinoma Play software for Windows Mobile, it is such an improvement over the stock media player with loads of added features.
We have just received news of a demo video showing a new updated version running on the DoCoMo version of the Toshiba TG01, the world’s first 1 GHz phone, and the world’s first phone based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon platform.
The walkthrough is for the docomo PRO series T-01A version of the phone. It’s focused on the flagship media player embedded into the phone, Kinoma Play. Video is after the break.
We are monitoring new iPhone apps every day and recently plenty of apps with s*xy ladies (literally! "s*xy ladies" even is in the title of several apps!) appear – probably a sign that parental controls are coming next month together with iPhone OS 3.0 upgrade, but apart from that we have noticed this little game, that is free and stands out because it looks like you would do it on paper – very naturalistic and nice.
Here is how this app looks like:
Just received an email from Clove and they tell us that the HTC Touch Pro2 is now in stock and available to order for next day delivery.
Available today, the Pro2 is a great upgrade if you are using any of the predecessor devices or you have been waiting for something that offers a quality and robust communication solution for anything from emails to web browsing.
You can order it now from Clove priced at £504.85 plus delivery.
If you are a regular reader you’ll know that I’ve reviewed several Sanyo Xacti camcorder models in the past, from the more entry-level HD700 to the most recent of the HD models, the HD2000. Overall, I think that the Xacti range is really good and I remain impressed with my HD1000 and that is the camera that I use to shoot the majority of my unboxing videos.
Sanyo recently started to expand the Xacti range with some non-pistol grip models as well as adding a number of waterproof models to the range. So this week we are looking at the Xacti VPC-WH1 described as a ‘Waterproof Dual Camera’ and it’s rated to a depth of 3 metres so it’ll be ok for snorkelling or using at the pool on holiday. Even if you don’t plan on using it in the water it’s a great idea to know that you wont ruin your camcorder if you are caught in a sudden down-pour.
You may think that being waterproof you may trade-off quality and features but the WH1 is still quite well spec’ed offering 720p HD recording and still shooting modes. As for the quality of recording, well you’ll have to see what our verdict is when we publish the full review in a week or so! For now, have a look at the unboxing video below to see the WH1 in a little more detail. Oh and if the yellow colour isn’t to your taste, don’t worry it’s also available in silver!
With SANYO’s advanced waterproofing technology, the SANYO Xacti WH1 can be used without thinking twice in the rain; for water sports such as surfing or snorkeling, or for winter sports such as skiing or snowboarding. This Xacti camera keeps up with active lifestyles.
The SANYO Xacti VPC-WH1 has earned the highest possible IEC 60529 waterproof rating – IPX8 – allowing high definition 1280 x 720, 30 fps footage to be captured without worrying about the effects of water or snow.
